Q: Is there any difference / benefit of holding these in a TFSA vs RRSP (tax wise). I understand the favorable tax treatment to US stocks in an RRSP via withholding tax. What about ETFs that trade on the TSX but hold US stocks?

Thank you!

Q: Of the 5 mining Co's, which one would you say is most globally diversified with best growth prospects, if the world doesnt hiccup too badly with current trade rhetoric ? Or maybe, a Co. not mentioned, I know Teck is the largest-diversified, but maybe another has more torque to the upside of a particular metal, maybe gold/ lithium miner ? I'm seeking Cdn competitive advantage with U.S dollar revenues.

Q: I have been a holder of GIL for several years now and it has basically gone sideways. I hold about a 1/2 position. I am down about $200 and am thinking it’s about time to move on. Any suggestions of what would be a good replacement?

Q: Hello Peter et al.

With all of the latest rhetoric about trade wars between the US and a lot of countries I have lightened my stock portfolio from about 97% to about 75% with the remainder in cash. I have in the last few years worked hard to get the increase in my RRSPs value. I am looking to put the cash into something that provides the following:
1. Quick access if necessary to re-invest again when I feel the time is right.
2. No loss of the capital with what the cash is put into.
3. Maximum rate of return for the above two criteria being met. I know it will not be high.

Is there a Money Market ETF or something similar that meets my three criteria. Because the cash is in my RRSP accounts I can’t take it out without paying tax on it which I do not want to do.


Thanks,

Brendan

Q: With trade tariffs and uncertainty in the markets what Is the wise move with russel metals, hold or sell? I have a large position so would not be interested in buying more. I hold it in my RRSP for the yield. If you suggest a sell what could replace it considering I also hold BCE, BMO, HR.UN, NVU.UN as well as 4 small caps for growth but no dividends.

Q: May I please have our view on Cornerstone Metals. Vanadium has been listed by the US government as a strategic metal which is used in steel production and next generation storage batteries. With it being in short supply, the trade war with China and the majority of vanadium reserves in Russia, China and South Africa would this not be a very valuable asset for North America and have significant upside potential?

Q: Your opinion please on CNR vs UNP ? I have a long time horizon. Looking to hold as forever stock.

Q: From Zacks Equity Research:

It commonly happens in stock investing that investors miss the chance of buying winning stocks that they knew would stand out. Before they take the plunge, others get to know the hidden potential and enter into these stocks, pushing them out of reach.

So, instead of repenting, spotting the off-the-radar potential winners and immediately investing in them could be a smart decision.

One such company that looks well positioned for a solid gain, but has been overlooked by investors lately, is Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. BEP. This Utility - Electric Power stock has actually seen estimates rise over the past month for the current fiscal year by about 57.1%. But that is not yet reflected in its price, as the stock lost 2.2% over the same time frame.

Q: Further to another users question on BTO, I recognize internal executives will sell their shares for many reasons. However, any additional insight given the insider selling reported by the G&M today?
